Big Fan on Campus

From bookstore rotundas to natatoriums, vast recreation centers to open-air stadiums, and even dorm rooms, Big Ass Fans® take top honors in year-round comfort. Given today’s versatile university environment, campuses operate more intelligently than before, often serving a variety of activities under one roof – from a basketball court by day, a concert venue in the evening, orientation in the fall to graduation in the spring. These multi-use facilities generally create high-occupancy densities and have a greater need for air circulation.

HVLS Fans in K-12 Schools

Classrooms, recreation centers, libraries and cafeterias are designed to house more students and operate more intelligently than ever before, often hosting a variety of activities. Available in a variety of sizes and models, Big Ass Fans offer silent air circulation.

In facilities without air conditioning, Big Ass Fans’ 10°F (5.6°C) cooling effect improves comfort without the distracting noise and energy draw that accompanies numerous small, high velocity fans. They also work in tandem with AC systems to provide a cooling effect and evenly distribute conditioned air throughout a space. Facility managers can utilize the energy-efficient fans to maintain occupant comfort with a higher AC set point, which saves money.

In winter, slow your Big Ass Fans to gently redirect rising warm air at the ceiling back down to desk level, improving comfort without creating drafts that would blow away papers. You’ll also reduce heating expenses by up to 30 percent.
